If you sell on Shopify, you’re a top target for ADA Title II demand letters. Plaintiff law firms run automated scanners against Shopify storefronts every single day — and most “accessibility apps” skip the checkout flow, which is exactly where the most expensive failures live.
Why Shopify stores get sued the most
Shopify themes ship with thousands of stores using identical, scanner-detectable patterns. One demand letter targeting one theme can be copy-pasted to thousands of merchants overnight.
- 94% of Shopify product pages fail at least one WCAG 2.1 AA rule.
- Checkout buttons frequently fail color contrast (1.4.3).
- Variant selectors lack ARIA labels in most themes.
- Image-heavy product pages miss alt text on 70%+ of images.
What our Shopify audit covers
Unlike overlay tools, AxessGuard performs a real DOM audit on every public template — including the ones you forgot exist.
- All product, collection, cart, and checkout pages
- Theme JS interactions (sliders, modals, drawers)
- Custom apps embedded in your storefront
- Mobile and desktop viewports
- WCAG 2.1 AA + EAA Annex I + ADA Title II mapping
